What about adding input fields to the dashboard widgets. Kind of like the text field but it is enabled for user input. This input field can be used in new column and new measure fields so that once the dashboard is set up the user can easily (without filtering) explore the data by entering different values such as if you had an input box for unit price. Then if you change it all the charts of total sales, revenue, etc. Will update to reflect what would happen if you increase the price by 10%. This will enable people to quickly and easily interrogate the data

Hi everyone. This is something we'd like to get to in the future but don't have any plans for at the moment.

RE: input fields
Any update about getting this in Power BI? This seems to be something that is key to analysis.
RE: input fields
I'd love to have this functionality. I'm in audit and most of my reports will be based on certain exceptions that need to be corrected by the report recipient. I'd like to give them the option to add their actions into the report so I can keep track of their corrective actions.
RE: input fields
My idea here is to use input data to recalculate the power bi and generate scenarios to discuss with data..
RE: input fields
Any updates about this idea?

I could use this filter to model discount and margins - back to excel now :(
RE: input fields
This would be a game changer and useful for do many of our customers both internally and externally! Please prioritise!
RE: input fields
Agreed. This feature is necessary. In the meantime I am using "Filter by list by Devscope". It is limited to only one parameter but it is better than nothing.
RE: input fields
Our Customer Need this input box for their powerbi report.
RE: input fields
That's ridiculous!!! That's the single most important feature that you want. I want a truly dynamic dashboard and at the moment it seems to me that I can achieve more dynamicity through Excel that with this !!! That's unbelievable !!!!
RE: input fields
How can I prompt the user to enter a parameter without having to go through Power BI Desktop? In Report Builder when you published a file, if the user opened it, they would be asked to enter a parameter to be used in creating the report.
We can currently do this with Report Builder.
I don't want a user to have to use Power BI. I want them to click on a link that opens a file and prompts them to input what item number they want the report to print for.
I don't want to use a slicer because the list to select what to slice could be long.
